New York (AP) - The Dallas Mavericks have won their third successive win in the North American basketball league NBA.
At 99:86 at the New York Knicks, the Texans had to do without their coach Rick Carlisle.
The 61-year-old tested positive for the corona virus, although he is said to be fully vaccinated.
Carlisle confirmed this in a virtual media round before the game.
However, the players did not let that unsettle them.
They decided the duel in New York in the final quarter and could rely on the defensive and their superstar Luka Doncic, who put up 26 points.
Maximilian Kleber from Würzburg contributed seven points.

Dennis Schröder and the Los Angeles Lakers, which were still weak, were also successful.
Without the injured stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis and newcomer Andre Drummond, the champions won 115: 94 at the Sacramento Kings.
Schröder was the Lakers' second best shooter with 17 points.
Only Kyle Kuzma was more successful with 30 points.
The Boston Celtics around Moritz Wagner are also back on the road to success.
At 118: 102 against the Houston Rockets, the center remained without points.
Another setback in the battle for the playoffs suffered Daniel Theis and the Chicago Bulls.
The 106: 113 defeat at the leaders of the West, Utah Jazz, meant the sixth bankruptcy in a row.
Theis got three points in almost 21 minutes.

The Golden State Warriors experienced a disastrous evening with a 77: 130 at the Toronto Raptors.
Coach Steve Kerr said: “We have been destroyed.
There's not much to say about that.
That was humiliating for everyone involved. "
